Fair Vasyl and Vassa in the Night

Mari and Meg are back and talking about Vassilissa the Beautiful retellings! We have two for you in one episode, so get ready. We discuss “Fair Vasyl,” a genderbending retelling by Stephen Harper with a steampunk bonus, and Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter — a magical realism retelling set in Brooklyn and is dark and scary as Babs Yag should be.

Fableulous Retellings Podcast has done an overhaul in its episodes! Instead of picking a specific fairy tale to talk about, we are now moving forward with seasonal themes. For season 8, we are traipsing down to the Underworld! We’ll be delving into some Hades and Persephone myths, as well looking into other versions of Underworld shenanigans.
